Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a car seat cover that includes a headrest cover, a backrest cover, and a seat cover. These covers are separate pieces that are designed to fit over a removable headrest, backrest, and seat cushion of a car seat. The covers have elastic trim on the edges to fit snugly over the seat and are lined with a silicone interior. The patent also describes an attachment mechanism for attaching the covers to the seat, such as hooks and loops, or zippers. The technical effects of this invention are improved comfort and protection for car passengers, as well as easy installation and adjustability of the seat covers.

Problems solved by technology

This often makes it difficult to find seat covers that fit well unless they are custom made, which can be expensive.
Universal seat covers and seat covers are often low quality and lack the form and fit needed to make them look attractive on the seats.
Universal fit generally means the cover can fit most seats, but the fit leaves much to be desired in terms of aesthetics and function.
The baggy covers often slide off the seats and over time, and the covers may flatten out of shape.
